Embrace of the Serpent
El Abrazo de la Serpiente | Ciro Guerra
An ethnologist and an Amazonian shaman, the last survivor of his tribe, burrow deep into the jungle in search of a mythical plant. A unique blend of mystical fiction reminiscent of Herzog and an ethnographic record, furthered with bewitching black and white imagery (nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars).
